Answer:10 gallons of 30% solution and 30 gallons of 70% solution should be mixed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of gallons of the 30% solution that should be mixed.

Let y represent the number of gallons of the 70% solution that should be mixed.

The total number of gallons of the mixture to be made is 40. This means that

x + y = 40

The 30% solution of fertilizer is to be mixed with a 70% solution of fertilizer in order to get 40 gallons of a 60% solution. This means that

0.3x + 0.7y = 0.6 × 40

0.3x + 0.7y = 24- - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 40 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.3(40 - y) + 0.7y = 24

12 - 0.3y + 0.7y = 24

- 0.3y + 0.7y = 24 - 12

0.4y = 12

y = 12/0.4

y = 30

x = 40 - y = 40 - 30

x = 10

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by th

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

14.52 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by the given equation $y=-16x^2+224x+121$ . We are asked to find the time, when the rocket will hit the ground.

We know that the rocket will hit the ground, when height will be 0. So to find the time when rocket will hit the ground, we will substitute $y=0$ in our given equation as:

$0=-16x^2+224x+121$

Let us solve for x using quadratic formula.

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{-224\pm\sqrt{224^2-4(-16)(121)}}{2(-16)}$

$x=\frac{-224\pm\sqrt{50176+7744}}{-32}$

$x=\frac{-224\pm\sqrt{57920}}{-32}$

$x=\frac{-224\pm240.66574}{-32}$

$x=\frac{-224+240.66574}{-32}, x=\frac{-224-240.66574}{-32}$

$x=\frac{16.66574}{-32}, x=\frac{-464.66574}{-32}$

$x=-0.520804375, x=14.520804375$

Upon rounding to nearest 100th of second, we will get:

$x\approx -0.52, x\approx 14.52$

Since time cannot be negative, therefore, the rocket will hit the ground after 14.52 seconds.

We're told x=-5 and y=11 and asked to evaluate a few expressions. That just means substitute these values into the expressions and compute the exact numerical answer.

$4y-10x = 4(11) - 10(-5) = 44 + 50 = 94$

Answer: 94

x to the power of 3

$x^3 = (-5)^3 = -5 \times -5 \times -5 = -125$

Answer: -125

•6y to the power of 2

Probably means

$6y^2 = 6(11)^2 = 6(121) = 726$

Answer: 726

$5(3x+2y) = 5(3(-5) + 2(11)) = 5(-15 + 22) = 5(7) = 35$

Answer: 35

•(y-x) to the power of 2

$(y - x)^2 = (11 - -5)^2 = 16^2 = 256$

Deon plans to ride a 15-mi bicycle trail. If his average is 20mi/h, with equation can he use to find the time T, in hours, for t

goldenfox [79]

Distance traveled by Deon to ride a bicycle trail = 15 mile

Average speed of Deon to ride a bicycle trail = 20 mi/hour

Let 'T' be the time taken to ride the bicycle trail.

We will use distance speed formula to write the equation to find the time 'T' in hours, for the ride.

Distance = $\frac{Speed}{time}$

$15 = \frac{20}{T}$

So, $T = \frac{20}{15}$

This equation will be used to find the time 'T' in hours for the ride.
